“This psychiatrist just makes me laugh! every time I leave his office ,or I get off the phone with him on a telehealth call,he's just so serious it makes me laugh. But I test his smarts all the time,. He is a very intelligent man I do believe he knows what he's talking about,he can become very frustrating at times when he just sits there and looks at you, he's not very personable he keeps his personal life to himself which makes me believe sometimes he's not very happy person. he reminds me of Shelton on The Big bang theory, he's got some of his same mannerisms. But if I had to have anybody on my side because they didn't know what to do on my deathbed,I certainly would like to have him there he does give you things to think about!!He does make you think,I would just like to see him smile every once in awhile,but other than that he's a good guy.??”

A great diagnostician and listener
He listened I guess that's a good thing.
Booking an appointment with the office online was easy, and the doctor's office followed up immediately with instructions and a link to their online portal, for submitting their basic forms. Took me a minute to figure out how to sign into the appointment itself, but once I did that, the doctor saw me at my appointment time and provided me with exactly the service I needed.
Video visit
The visit was a telehealth visit not in office. The provider was very judgmental, condescending and acted as if what I was saying was untrue. He didn’t seem very kind or compassionate at all.
